Hey Googlers, do ya’ll feel sometimes it’s alot of smoke and mirrors here? Recently joined and am amazed on how much manual processes there is and things held together with duct tape…. I guess this is true for most companies but tech companies have the perception they’re on top of everything. I’m happy to be here but just surprised.

My probation has been increased by 2 months unnecessarily. I had heard EY has no fire policy. I’m working so well and constantly. Can they fire me after that?

Hey guys,

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Completed onsite interviews for the TAM role and recruiter gave me feedback that my technical depth wasn’t up to par for the role but my googleness/leadership and GCA interview feedback was stellar so they plan to propose me for Cloud PM roles instead. Does this happen? Or are they just being nice? What’s the probability that they’ll match me to another role?

I have my second round PgM interview coming up. Would appreciate if you could please share some resources for interview preparation! TIA

Do you get a phone when you start ? If so, what type ? Not a big Android fan. Thinking if I should upgrade my current phone ?

Is it a norm to send a thank you note through your recruiter? I had an iffy interview, and wondering if I bother sending a thank you note. It was very clear that they were trying to do a stress interview so I feel weird saying the usual nice things.

How strict is Google about returning into the office? New York based

Generally how long are on sites? Are they all on one day’s block? The entire 4 hours?

Hi Googlers, are there any advantages to using a pixel phone at Google i.e better enterprise integration, internal apps, etc.? Planning to switch to Android from iOS.

What’s WLB like in business roles at Google?

Interested in becoming a Google cloud product manager. Here are my observations on the experience you will need to be considered.

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM

Question for ex-consulting (esp MBB) folks who landed up at Google - are you happy with the decision you took? Why / why not? I'm an MBB Consultant with an offer for a role in Strat Ops in another country. Also evaluating a similar role in a fast growing, publicly lister SaaS company closer to home - faster growth, more flex to work remotely. Want to understand if consulting folks are happy with Google overall, despite a potentially slower / more open ended growth path.

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?
